When the mother of Churchwell’s children refused to give him her car keys around 3 p.m., Churchwell threatened to “deadline her” then took a swing at her, according to a Sandusky police report.

The woman’s younger brother then stepped in to confront his sister’s attacker. Churchwell allegedly swung at the brother, then picked up a large stick and tried to strike him with it, the report said. The woman dialed 911 and Churchwell fled on foot.

The woman later reconsidered her decision to file charges against Churchwell, but officers opted to do so on her behalf.
